As always, it is important to use positive language when creating an intention, focusing on what you want instead of what you do not want. An easy way to do this is to begin with an I AM statement, written in present tense as if it is already happening. Settle on a strong intention and make it into a short sentence stating what you would like to achieve by using this sigil. However, the results may not last as long as a permanent long-term sigil. These are activated by whatever method you are using to destroy them, burning with fire or dissolving in water for example. If you want a sigil that acts fast but doesn’t need to be pretty, you can make a destructible sigil. It can take longer to manifest but the results will be long-lasting. When you activate it by creating it, putting your intention into making a beautiful sigil to display long term. When deciding how you want to create your sigil, first think about how you want it to work. This also works in much the same way as tarot, bypassing your logical brain and tapping into the knowledge and power you already carry within. Turning your intention into imagery, such as creating a sigil, helps it bypass your conscious mind and cement into your subconscious. Take tarot for example: the imagery in the Rider-Waite deck is full of symbolism in a way that just observing the art can give you an accurate interpretation of the card’s meaning. When we see common imagery associated with certain actions or feelings, we too begin to unconsciously make those associations in our minds. The reason that sigil crafting is such an effective form of magick lies within the power of symbolism. You infuse them with your intention by the very act of creating them. Sigils are as unique as the practitioner. The power behind sigil crafting comes from creating the design, because it is infused with your intention and it is something that only you will use. When you make sigils yourself for yourself to use, it becomes your own personal kind of magick. I see people sharing and using other practitioners’ sigils online but for this reason, it simply does not work. The important thing to remember about sigil crafting is you need to create your own design in order for it to work and it will only work for you. Chaos magick is different from folk magick in that everything is specifically your own ideas and beliefs, there are no traditions passed down or common knowledge or references shared. The way we use sigils today comes from the chaos magick practice. Thinking of it in this way, a sigil is like a magickal signature or seal that shows your authority in crafting your spells. Sigil comes from the Latin word for “seal,” which is also the root of the word signature. A kitchen witch may draw sigils for health in their soups while stirring or breads before baking. A green witch may use them to bury in the soil near their plants to encourage them to grow. There is something in sigil crafting for everyone. If you have never used sigils in your practice and you are a creative and artistic witch, you will love getting to know all about sigils and how to make them.
